I contenuti visivi disponibili su piattaforme come Google Images rafforzano gli stereotipi di genere piรน dei contenuti testuali. Questo studio indica che le immagini online mostrano pregiudizi di genere piรน forti nei confronti degli uomini ed hanno un impatto psicologico piรน duraturo rispetto ai contenuti testuali. Gli effetti, inoltre, perdurano ancora dopo tre giorni.

Visual content on platforms like Google Images reinforces gender stereotypes more strongly than textual content. This pioneering study indicates that online images not only display a stronger bias towards men but also leave a more lasting psychological impact compared to text, with effects still notable after three days.

It seems that the entire analysis is developed starting from a modular and mechanistic perspective which is very suitable for machines but very little for human life. In the article, life is conceived in the light of criteria such as competition, optimization and mere survival, neglecting what for humans is the basis of every action: intentionality (why? with whom? against whom?…). In terms of mere survival, a sophisticated neurological evolution is not even necessary: jellyfish have existed for thousands of years without any particular evolution of their nervous system. Last but not least, artificial neural networks and the entire paradigm of Artificial Intelligence were founded on the Kantian perspective of thought and life, a legitimate choice from a research point of view which however greatly restricts the possibilities of understanding the phenomenon of life, reducing thought and reason to the emerging product of logical operations (Boolean algebra) carried out through the mechanical dynamics of logic gates.

At the origins of the German debate on Einfรผhlung lie not only visual, optical and spatial issues (Vischer, Lipps) but exquisitely literary phenomena. In particular one genre, that of tragedy, and two categories, namely das Tragische and die Tragik, are the subject of extensive reflection. There is thus a literary birth of the theory of Einfรผhlung, and if today we have extraordinary analyses of empathy in the novel (Keen) the question remains why the theme of the tragic and tragedy, which lies at the center of the early interests of the psychology of Einfรผhlung (Lipps, Volkelt, Groos), has almost disappeared from the horizon of the study of empathy, while it is obviously essential to understanding the debate on โ€œnegativeโ€ and โ€œmixedโ€ emotions.

Passive exposure to stimuli like sounds or languages helps the brain to form foundational representations, making active learning more efficient.

Come generare un modello tautologico dei processi di apprendimento e della memoria dando lโ€™illusione di aver compreso un fenomeno solo perchรฉ lo abbiamo simulato.

“La scienza, grazie alla sofisticazione della sua investigazione, annienta il suo oggetto: รจ costretta, per sopravvivere, a riprodurlo artificialmente come modello di simulazione… rivincita dell’oggetto, che non si offre piรน se non simulato all’influenza delle nostre tecniche.”
—[Jean Baudrillard]

We Are Relational Beings

ยซAs a social neuroscientist, Vittorio Gallese has a unique understanding of how we live together. Until recently, he headed a research group at the Berlin School of Mind and Brain focusing on the development of socio-cultural identities. Back in Italy, the Professor of Psychobiology from Universitร  di Parma, who is widely known for his discovery of mirror neurons, continues to explore the cognitive structures of empathy and sympathy. An episode about the lockdown experience, the ambivalences of digital media, and the role of effort and coincidence in scientific breakthroughs.ยป

ยปIt wasnโ€™t until the mid-2000s that Lakoff and the neuroscientist Vittorio Gallese began to more boldly assert that the bodily states referenced in metaphors, involve simulations of the same sensation and perception networks engaged when those states are experienced.ยป

“Fu solo a metร  degli anni 2000 che Lakoff e il neuroscienziato Vittorio Gallese iniziarono ad affermare in modo piรน audace che gli stati corporei a cui si fa riferimento nelle metafore coinvolgono simulazioni delle stesse sensazioni e reti di percezione coinvolte quando quegli stati vengono vissuti.”

La pericolosa deriva che stanno prendendo alcune ricerche in neuroscienze applicate alle indagini di mercato. Le ricerche che fanno uso di fMRI (risonanza magnetica funzionale) oltre ad essere poco etiche sono anche molto costose, dunque disponibili solo per grandi aziende.

The dangerous drift of some neuroscience research applied to market. Research that uses fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) is not only unethical but also very expensive, therefore only available to large companies.
